We're No. 1! We're No. 1! (in sitting on our butts watching TV)

The latest national list to mention the Crescent City is an interesting one: New Orleans is No. 1 in watching prime-time TV, according to the Nielsen Company. Here's the map of viewing habits (click to embiggen):

New Orleans named America's #3 most congested city

Another day, another subjective-but-entertaining list in which New Orleans is included ...
According to Sperling's Best Places and the manufacturer of a certain brand of nasal strips, the Crescent City is America's third-most congested burg, right behind Oklahoma City, Okla. and Birmingham, Ala. And they're not talking traffic congestion:
Seven categories were taken into consideration when ranking the most stuffed-up cities: pollen count, molds and spores; air pollution; incidence of flu; purchase habits of congestion products; prescriptions of congestion relief drugs; smoking; and climate.
And if you're particularly congested today — this lovely fall weather has also brought out the ragweed, grass and elm pollen; we're almost at a pollen Code Red.
We already knew we were America's most well-endowed city, as well as the country's second-kinkiest city. Why doesn't the New Orleans Convention & Visitors Bureau ever put these sorts of stats on the brochures?
